Is Musk being aggressive enough?
By Noel S. Williams
President Trump wants Musk to get more aggressive on DOGE cuts, to which Musk responded, “Will do, Mr. President.” Justifiably, Musk doesn’t see that same kind of “will do” spirit in the federal bureaucracy, and has demanded federal employees email him a simple list of their accomplishments from the last week.
That’s still not aggressive enough, as the assignment will take less than five minutes to accomplish -- once they disavow their haughty hubris. In the private workforce, status reports are commonplace, but not perfunctory; they take longer because, unlike the union-dominated fed government workforce, employees must justify their salaries. Many do so proudly and gratefully.
Another reason Musk is still not being aggressive enough, per Trump’s wishes, is that he’s dangling the prospect of promotion to those who give “good responses.” Umm, that’s pussyfooting around, at least when contrasted to when he was prancing around with his DOGE chainsaw at CPAC.
